Analysis Of Gwendolyn Brooks's Sonnet-Ballad

Buchanan. I could not find the original name of this poem, so I will be referring to this poem as ‘this haiku.’ In contrast to my previously picked poem, this one is very short. With only three lines, the haiku is about a tree that doesn't produce any flowers, giving it the freedom to sway in the wind.

People do not like war, because war would let the family separation.

By example, history’s dreadful suicide of Romeo and Juliet. The families’ feud led to their children’s deseace which resulted to end both of families’ heir to the throne. However, upon their deaths, the families made peace with each other. Furthermore, Juliet’s willing death created a statement for her love to Romeo ; she had rathered to die than to have married someone other than him. “What if it be a poison, which the Friar subtly hath ministered to have me dead, lest in this mariage he should dishonered, because he maried me before Romeo?” (4.3.

Multiple events occurred during the Harlem Renaissance, one of the was the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement was a movement that for African Americans to have equal rights as white people. Each poet in the Harlem Renaissance can connect to this movement because they used their poetic abilities to show that they want equal rights.

Most soldiers when dealing with PTSD separate themselves from their loved ones and friends because of their “experience of near death and the fear that they will leave someone behind...” (The Emotional Effects of War on Soldiers).
